wifi.scan stopped working on Debian Buster in latest update (2.0.7)
wifi.scan() returns new error after updating from 2.0.5 to 2.0.7.
Expected Behavior
Should return list of networks
Current Behavior
Returns error
Error: Command failed: nmcli --terse --fields active,ssid,bssid,mode,chan,freq,signal,security,wpa-flags,rsn-flags,device device wifi
Error: Could not create NMClient object: Could not connect: No such file or directory.
Affected features
- [X] node API
- [ ] cli
Possible Solution
Workaround: Use 2.0.5 for now
Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
Install node-wifi 2.0.7 on Debian Buster and run wifi.scan()
Context
Just updating packages
Your Environment
- OS: Debian Buster
- node-wifi version: 2.0.7
- wifi card: Raspberry Pi 3b+ built-in
The error who have seems to come from directly from nmcli. I am not able to find which difference between 2.0.5 and 2.0.7 might have an impact like this. I am also not able to reproduce this error but I only have Ubuntu 18.04.2 to test linux.
Please can you provide the version of nmcli you are using with nmcli --version?
